Clean, Reliable Energy. Or Power Geothermal Power Project, Kenya (ClimateCare)
Carbon finance, structured by ClimateCare has helped make this clean energy project possible. Find out how it is benefiting local communities as well as the environment.
Kenya is increasingly reliant on oil to generate electricity due to rising demand and the frequent droughts that limit the country’s hydroelectric resource. Due to these issues Kenya has suffered from an inconsistent electricity supply and rising carbon emissions. The Olkaria III Phase 2 Geothermal Expansion Project, located in Hell’s Gate National Park, uses the heat derived from magma rising from the Earth’s core to generate low carbon electricity which helps to address these issues.
